So that's the first thing.
And I like her attitude here.
She's like, I said what I said, which is what you want from people, right?
Don't you want them to stand by you?
the things that they believe.
So I have no problem with her making those comments.
And I think we have to be a little careful about what she said.
She said that I don't see Jalen Brunson being able to lead a team to a title because small guards don't typically do that.
And you just ran through some examples, right?
So you've got Isaiah Thomas.
I don't think you can compare the guard size from 1989 to now.
They've gotten so much taller.
I mean, you just look at the numbers.
The guards have stretched.
They're higher, taller players.
So what he was able to do in 1989 is really not that relevant to Jalen Brunson in 26.
Steph Curry absolutely was the best player on that team.
Is he small, though?
Well, he's 6'2".
Jalen Brunson is listed at 6'2".
